Greek
Civil War (1944-1947)--British
forces became involved in the early stages of the Greek
Civil War when they liberated Greece from German
occupation toward the end of 1944. As the Germans
withdrew, competing Greek factions fought for control.
The British sided with the re-established Greek
government against the Communist rebels. Due to financial
pressures and their own need to recover from World War
Two, Britain announced a withdrawal of forces in 1947.
The Greek Civil War continued until 1949, with the United
States taking over the role of protector for the
government. British combat involvement primarily took
place in 1944 and 1945.
